This radio broadcast reviews the evolution of metals since the discovery of copper in ancient times, and looks at how science and technology are continually upgrading the design and development of metal alloys. There are explanations of five ways the chemical composition of an alloy can be modified to produce different properties; how heat treating is used to process metals; how mining metals can be sped up by microwaving metals; how metals are deformed to test them for structural properties; and how nano-crystalline alloys are designed using computer models to find the best chemical composition and processing parameters with minimal experimentation. The broadcast is 30 minutes in length.

This site from TRSL is the main site that links to many animations related to how chromatography systems work. The animations would be helpful to students when trying to visualize what occurs in an instrument during an separation (e.g. injection, detection, etc.).

This site has very good animations related to separations. It deals specifically with solvent focusing in gas chromatography. The animations are short (one to two minutes) and can easily be shown in class as part of a lecture. They are extremely helpful in illustrating key components and concepts of chromatographic systems. Users are encouraged to explore the site and the other brief animations as well. Separate links to other simulations by the same company (TRSL) are also listed on ASDL.

This site, part of Exploring Earth Investigation by McDougal Littell and TERC, examines how crystals grow. The investigations "were designed to build students' knowledge of Earth Science conceptsï¿½and to raise student awareness of Earth as a system of interconnected components and processes." Here, visitors can find lessons on snowflakes, common crystals (salt, granite, caverns), crystal growth animations, crystal structure, and simulated crystal growth experiments. Many sections have illustrative images and interactive features, which help students, understand the topics presented, and the final section ends with questions for students to explore crystals further. This is an excellent site for any Earth Science classroom as an introductory lecture or as an out-of-class exploration for students.

How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atomic nucleus without looking at it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and determining that they must have a small core. This simulation of a Rutherford Scattering is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado. Included are links to related topics and additional ideas and activities for teachers to use.

This site, created by Materials Research Science and Engineering Center in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW MRSEC), introduces visitors to the tools that allow us to "see" atoms, play with them, and create a variety of "nano-architectural wonders." The focus is on educational materials to introduce students to nano-science. Included in the resources presented are movies, curricula, labs and student activities.

This video and online calculator show how to calculate the molecular weight of a substance from the atomic weights given on the periodic table. Use the molecular weight to convert between the macroscopic scale (grams of a substance) and the microscopic scale (number of molecules of that substance).
